STIMULA™ nutrients go beyond yeast assimilable nitrogen (YAN). These innovative nutrients stimulate specific yeast metabolic pathways involved in aroma production.

During fermentation, STIMULA™ nutrients supply additional amino acids, peptides, and specific vitamins and minerals that are crucial for the yeast’s secondary metabolism, boosting the production and/or release of key aromatic compounds like esters, thiols, and terpenes.

Yeast produce esters as a natural byproduct of alcohol fermentation. STIMULA CHARDONNAY and STIMULA CABERNET are specifically formulated with the right nutrients to maximize ester production. 

Some yeast produce enzymes that convert odorless varietal aroma compounds into their odor active forms. STIMULA SAUVIGNON BLANC, SYRAH, and PINOT NOIR provide yeast with key micronutrients needed to maximize production of those enzymes.
